Der Flugzeughersteller Airbus hält an Plänen für eine noch größere Version des A380 fest. Mit der Entwicklung eines solchen Flugzeuges werde das Unternehmen voraussichtlich aber erst dann beginnen, wenn die Produktion des aktuellen Modelles A380-800 auf 40 Flugzeuge pro Jahr hochgefahren ist, so Verkaufschef John Leahy.

Time for the US to Get Out of the United Nations Summary: The propaganda surrounding the UN is such that most people are still blithely unaware that the United Nations wants to impose its own tax on all financial transactions, exercise total power over land use throughout the world, require everyone to carry a national or international identity card, require population control, and has even instituted its own court to prosecute anyone for whatever it deems to be crimes "against humanity."
